Zingano cat was defeated by Megan anderson with a knockout at 61 seconds of the first round on the UFC 232 preliminary card, on Saturday (29). What is common in an MMA clash, however, what caught the most attention was the unique way in which the meeting between the featherweights ended. The Australian threw a high kick that grazed her rival's head. 'Alpha' felt the blow, turned his back and asked for the fight to end. As this is not allowed, her opponent continued to hit her with a series of punches that brought the fight to an end.

With the end of the fight, Zingano still had her eyes closed until she was taken to the Ultimate doctors. Cat ended up cutting her right eyelid when Megan's toenail hit her face. The blow could have caused more serious damage, luckily the American had her eyes closed during her rival's attack.
“I was worried my eye was ruptured. They (doctors) said I will be fine tonight. Thank you everyone for your concern. What is your opinion regarding a poke in the eye with the hand (being an illegal blow) and a poke with the foot being considered a technical knockout?”, Zingano posted on his Twitter.
